DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] The present invention provides a high temperature and corrosion resistant miniature circuit breaker, including an external mechanism 100; for example, Figure 1-Figure 3 shown.

[0023] The external mechanism 100 includes a base shell 101, and the base shell 101 is equipped with a safety mechanism 200 and an arc extinguishing mechanism 300. The safety mechanism 200 includes a connecting piece 201 that is plugged into the inner side of the base shell 101. The lower surface of the connecting piece 201 is adapted to be installed with a coil 202. The surface of the coil 202 is plugged into a metal frame 203. The side of the metal frame 203 is engaged with a ball joint 204. The outer surface of the ball joint 204 is rotatably sleeved with a long rod 205, and the long rod 205 is equipped with a dislocation piece 206. A swing arm 207 is provided on the side of the dislocation piece 206. The end face of the swing arm 207 is rotatably connected to a vertical rod 208, and the vertical rod 208 is equipped with a swing lever 209.

[0024] The dislocating member 206 includes a positioning shaft 206a that is rotatably sleeved, and an angular gear ring 206b is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the positioning shaft 206a. The teeth of the angular gear ring 206b are connected to the alignment track 206c, and the side of the alignment track 206c is plugged into a support rod 206d. The end face of the angular gear ring 206b is fixedly connected to the swing arm 207, and the angle between the swing arm 207 and the swing lever 209 is an acute angle.

[0025] A toggle support rod 210 is fixedly connected to the side of the swing lever 209 , and a circuit breaker switch 211 is snap-connected to the top of the toggle support rod 210 . The circuit breaker switch 211 is an integrally formed circular long-handled rod.

[0026] Specifically, the external mechanism 100 is provided with the safety mechanism 200 and the arc extinguishing mechanism 300, so that the circuit breaker has a good safety on-off function. The connecting piece 201 and the coil 202 are adapted and installed so that the coil 202 can generate magnetic force by energizing the connecting piece 201. The metal frame 203 is fixedly connected to the ball joint 204 so that the magnetic force drives the ball joint 204 to rotate through the metal frame 203. The long rod 205 is provided with the dislocation member 206 so that the rotation motion is transmitted again. The swing arm 207 is connected with the vertical rod 208 and the swing arm 208. The rotation coordination of the lever 209 can be used for the flexible rotation of the swing lever 209, and the safety circuit breaker effect is more timely and rapid. The snap connection between the angle gear ring 206b and the alignment track 206c limits the rotation trajectory and makes the rotation angle more stable. The plug-in connection between the support rod 206d and the alignment track 206c enables the alignment track 206c to maintain its own stability and reduce shaking. The snap connection between the circuit breaker switch 211 and the toggle support rod 210 enables the swing lever 209 to directly control the on and off of the circuit breaker switch 211, and the safety effect is more direct.

[0027] The bottom of the swing lever 209 is adapted to be mounted with a spring rod 301; for example, Figure 2-Figure 4 shown.

[0028] The end surface of the spring rod 301 is rotatably connected to a vertical frame 302 , and the vertical frame 302 is adapted to be installed with the base shell 101 .

[0029] The vertical frame 302 is rotatably sleeved with an oblique rod 303 via a pin shaft. A breaking contact piece 304 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the oblique rod 303 . The top of the breaking contact piece 304 is movably engaged with an arc extinguishing chamber 305 .

[0030] Specifically, the rotating sleeve connection of the oblique rod 303 and the vertical frame 302 allows the breaking contact piece 304 to flexibly contact the arc extinguishing chamber 305, so that the electric spark is extinguished in time, greatly improving the circuit breaker safety effect.

[0031] The lower surface of the inclined rod 303 is adapted to be mounted with an insulating straight plate 306; for example, Figure 3-Figure 5 shown.

[0032] The insulating straight plate 306 is an integrally formed silicone plate.

[0033] The external mechanism 100 further includes a placement groove 103 starting from the top of the base shell 101 , and a current monitoring component 102 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the placement groove 103 .

[0034] Specifically, the provision of the insulating straight plate 306 enables the circuit breaker to have an electrostatic placement effect, and the fixed connection between the placement slot 103 and the current monitoring element 102 can be used for the active on-off function of the circuit breaker.

[0035] Working principle: First, connect the connecting piece 201 to the mains power, then energize the coil 202 to generate magnetic force, which drives the ball joint 204 located on the side of the metal frame 203 to rotate. The long rod 205 rotates synchronously under the fixed-point support of the ball joint 204 and the positioning shaft 206a. Then, an angular gear ring 206b is set on the inner side of the end face of the long rod 205 and movably plugs into the alignment track 206c, effectively improving the disadvantage of insensitive switching. Then, under the multiple transmission effects of the swing arm 207, the swing lever 209 swings stably, and one end of it will flexibly switch the circuit breaker 211 on and off by toggling the support rod 210.

[0036] When the internal current of the circuit breaker is abnormal, the swing lever 209 will drive the spring rod 301 to rotate obliquely downward, and the oblique rod 303 will cause the breaking contact piece 304 to break contact with the arc extinguishing chamber 305. The electric spark generated after the separation is extinguished by the arc extinguishing chamber 305. Then the current monitoring component 102 detects the current abnormality in a short period of time and immediately disconnects the mains connection, so that the circuit breaker can play its safety protection function in time.
